    I’ve heard that target waits until you hit some amount that makes it a felony then busts you hard

    Which basically means you can steal from target, but only once.

      Yeah, there is usually a dollar amount that you need to hit in order for charges to actually be meaningful in a number of states. For example, in CA you need to steal over $950 for a judge to have the option to make it a felony. If it’s under $950 it’s a slap on the wrist.
